A two-judge bench, comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, heard the plea submitted by academician Roop Rekha Verma against the amended law. "We issue notice and seek UP govt's response to the plea. Let the reply be filed. We will hear the case after that," the apex court said.

While issuing the notice, the bench sought a detailed response from the UP state on the matter and tagged the plea for hearing with other pending petitions raising similar issues.
